Bill > HB06468

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 157 of the general statutes to ensure that minor political parties receive the same treatment as major political parties under the Citizens' Election Program (CEP). The Citizens' Election Program is a public campaign financing system designed to reduce the influence of private money in state elections by providing qualifying candidates with public funds. Currently, the existing regulations may have different requirements or limitations for major and minor political parties, and this bill aims to create a more equitable framework by applying identical rules and regulations to all political parties, regardless of their size or established status. By mandating equal treatment, the bill seeks to level the playing field and provide minor political parties with the same opportunities for campaign funding and participation in the electoral process as their major party counterparts.
